Keri Hornbuckle and Mike
I'm having second thoughts with using a bright color for the backsplash. Given the fact we plan on keeping the nook wall in wood, wood floors and wooden shelving, I"m afraid adding a bright color to the back splash will be too many elements. I'm more inclined to keep the backsplash quiet and add the color with accents. I hate to have your eye drawn directly to the bright color and that be the only element you see in the kitchen... just a consideration.... good point.
configuration for microwave cabinet adjacent to dishwasher. I like the door covering the microwave, would avoid the added expense of built in as well as covering mw. doors and drawers above and below could be configured to your liking. Yvonne, I am warming to this idea - Keri This approach is very good - the door can be open or closed easily. The microwave just slides in. This is a good idea!- kh
I like this but wonder if the left and right upper cabinets are too low. Would it be better to have them higher- even with hood? I would put them at the standard height of 18" from the counter.
This is a good idea. Under the microwave? Or under the window next to frig? yes!
This shallow drawer would be useful on the dining room side of the island.
Of hardware is very sturdy, this is a good idea for getting us maximum storage on the peninsula.
Nifty. We use these a lot.
Great color
use same cabinetry as kitchen. I like this. Seems like it would be a good idea - there is a vent under the current drawers - a waste of heat !- kh
How do you feel about using a floating cabinet to the left of the refrigerator? certainly taller than this version. I think we need the storage under it.- kh
Lavastone! loving the color options! yes! we like it.-kh. I see it is only from France. and I'm not sure I buy the idea it is a sustainable material. depends on definition of sustainability. A lot of petroleum used and air pollution produced in shipping from france! But sure is beautiful. also ridiculously expensive! yes. probably solid surface would work for us. white? But still liking the glass color backsplash.
I love this. Great color. Nice clean lines. What kind of countertop would that be? Kh
Yep. I’m loving the colored glass- kh
Nice! L.J.
busy but fun. Yes- over the top Swedish. Too much for us but cute.
glass backsplash. Great color- looks good with stainless and white. L.J.
We like these flat front cabinets doors without handles.-kh Definitely flat front!!
microwave, could be free standing. Yes, I like the idea of no countertop under microwave - keeps the junk from accumulating. Otherwise, I don't like anything in this image.- kh
idea for builtin microwave with additional storage. Yes, like position of microwave. This photo is also an example of countertops and cabinets we do not like. we prefer more modern cabinets and solid color countertops.
could we put microwave in cabinet opposite of refrigerator, dining room side of window seat. Yes. I also like the high cabinets. we have a stool in the kitchen for that reason.- kh
tall cabinets could be possibility for wall between island and stove potentially for additional built ins. yes, this look is very good.- kh
potential for open shelving over window on refrigerator wall. yes, I like that a lot . I also like the no-frills look of those open shelves. Seems consistent with the rest of the house. kh
window shelving. I love this whole look. Great colors, smooth surfaces, recessed lights, windows. A little too shiny for our house but otherwise very cool.- kh
love the windows. also like the wine fridge - is that too trendy- would we regret the space? -kh. I wouldn't consider wine fridge trendy. more of a space issue with your layout.
window shelving. I can envision these with countertop cabinets below. Yes. in fact, these shelves look a lot like those we installed in the lower level last year. I like this. - kh
window shelves are the only thing I like in this kitchen.- kh
this is good, and maybe a good way to pull in the oak/teak accents in the house.- kh
I like the color here. I don't think we want too many open shelves. only for our special glassware. -kh
window shelving. contemporary range hood, less heavy in your space. Yes. but too shiny and too much gray.- kh
range hood. yes. We don't have strong feelings about the look of the hood except no wood. We want a really effective one! Also, the gray looks good in this kitchen.
no. - kh
wood and white..cozy Shallow pantry wall of doors. B./5 I am not sure about any 'new' wood accents. I do like using materials from the original house - including the teak(?) cabinet in the dining room and cabinet doors we saved from the basement remodel- and the oak paneling in the alcove-- keri
waterfall at end of island. Yes- keri
i'm not loving the wood accents here either.- kh
not loving wood cabinets but shelving is good. And floor.-kh
just for fun! oh yes, love the lighting. - kh
narrow lower cabinets, far end of island? B./#5 shallow pantry wall. yes, I like that - could we use the teak doors we have saved?-kh
too utilitarian- kh
im not keen on this backsplash-kh
floor
